The Little Rain Cloud
The Little Rain Cloud is tired of being dark and gray and having people wish him away. He longs for the world to like him and greet him with a smile. He decides that he will be somebody else for a change – maybe a fluffy white cumulus cloud or a wispy white cirrus cloud.
His parents encourage him to look inside and see who he really is, to find his dharma – his purpose in life.
The Little Rain Cloud is a story about self-discovery, finding your purpose in life, and being happy with who you are, no matter your color or category.

The Little Rain Cloud was tired of being wished away.
He said, “I think I’ll be a white cirrus cloud today. That way I’ll be so wispy and thin. And kids won’t sing for me to go away again.”
The Little Rain Cloud would change today.
His father said, “We love you the way you are.” His mother said, “The wind will take you much too far.”
But how he longed, to have the world look at him with a smile.
The Little Rain Cloud was tired of being dark and gray.
He said, “I think I’ll be a white cumulous cloud today. That way I’ll be so fluffy and full. And all the kids will think I’m totally cool.”
The Little Rain Cloud would be somebody else today.
His mother said, “Look inside and see who you are.” His father said, “There’s a purpose for each called Dharma.”
But how he longed to have the world look at him with a smile.
The Little Rain Cloud rained on the farmer’s head. Then he shed a few more on the flower bed. The farmer’s family started dancing and singing. And when he saw all the joy he was bringing.
The Little Rain Cloud said, “I’ll just be me instead.”
His mother said, “We’re proud of who you are.” His father said, “My son, you just found your Dharma.”
And how he loved to look at the world with a smile.
We'd love to hear from you!
